  • Man, I can't stop watching your videos. I haven't found any that I don't like. Great Job !!!

  • thanx for doing this. it's so great

  • You gave me chills.

  • I really needed to hear this...thank you. I was nervous to see that it was a cover of Ani...but you are truly an amazing artist. I thank you again...

  • I really love this song and I think you did a great job with it! Awesome cover!

  • I loved it. I 1st saw her in 1991 in Olympia, Wa. I loved your cover, you have great range and depth to your voice. I hope you live somewhere you can record soon. Olympia and Seattle are good places.

  • This was the very first song of Ani's that I heard. My male English teacher, who came to mean a lot to me but died way too young, played it to me and told me that it had an important message. So I appreciated very much to hear this from a you as a man. But believe me when I say that i appreciated it for much more than the novelty of it being sung by a man. Your guitar work was flawless and your singing and frasing was immaculate.

    Thank you for putting this out here and sharing it with us!

  • this is an absolutely amazing cover. i cant even find the words to explain how much i love this! lovely job! <3

  • can I download this somewhere? A M A Z I N G

  • wow!!!!!!!! is any chance that you'd give me the tabs?

  • My god, what a beautiful cover. I hate to ask, but do you have a tab?

  • man, this is just absolutely beautiful. I don't generally like covers, but man, keep rockin it. i created this account just to tell you so. I've been listening to ani since i was 8 years old, and u more than live up to any expectation i could have had.

    KEEP FREAKIN ROCKIN IT!! :D

  • @whohawhee Oh, yer lovely. Thanks for taking the time to stop by...

  • Very nice. Well done.

  • You added an extra "beautiful" in there on 0:51...and then I felt like you really DO know someone this song applies to. Your emotions came through...

    Unfortunately, I also know someone I'd sing this song to. But omg you almost brought me to tears. You did great :) Absolutely. Amazing.

  • Dude, you was for real feelin that song. From one male Ani fan to the next you definitely did the song justice. Go Ani!

  • you are so amazing!!

  • Nice to hear a guy covering an Ani song...and so well done too!

    Did you figure out he guitar part or did you find this tab somewhere?

  • great job dude, i like both the chordal and vocal phrasing. very nice.

  • amazing singing and playing, but i just cant stand your overdramatics on the video :(

  • your emotion rocks me

  • Your voice is flawless, and it gives me goosebumps. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

  • I <3 this, this is amazing!

    Cheers :)

  • Beautiful : )

  • wow... you're the first I see on youtube who really can do a song from Ani... you're great... really you are.

  • FANTASTIC!!! Kudos to you, my dear; what a great thing it is to see a man do an ani difranco cover:D

    xoxo

  • This is beautiful, really heartfelt.

    Its so refreshing seeing a musician with so much passion. :)

    You have a slight james morrison sound to your voice at times but I think your even more unique. Beautiful!

    xx thanks xx

  • i dunno what is more beautiful : a woman or a man singing this... we all have living similar situations!!! man, thank u for this perfect version of this pretty song. kisses.

  • Check out Steve Goodman's "Words We Can Dance To" album - sometimes your voice reminds me of him - great stuff you're doing.

  • ur awesome...n this is a gorgeous song!

  • i wanted you to know this is going out on my facebook page for someone i love who is naieve about being with an abuser. Hope your telepathy worked. Wish me some luck...

  • Thank you all for the amazing support. I truly cherish it.

  • you are fantastic- so emotional- Ani would be proud to hear her song performed so well!! this track is from one of earlier CD- called Imperfectly

  • i've never seen spmepne as [assionate as you are. Who are you singing this song to??? I wish it were me.... my best friend played this song for me and it made m melt...but I never heard a ,man feel so passionatley about anything as you do about this song....it must be someone you love...could youshare your love/ heartache??? I'm inthralled by you....let's talk....

  • beautiful dude, beautiful!

  • This is one of my favorite songs by Ani and you did an amazing cover of it. :D

  • I have nearly all of Ani's albums, but I had not yet heard this song. It's beautiful. Thanks for the early morning tears.

  • This is awesome - thanks.

  • you are incredible. enough said!

  • you are so gorgeous...

  • Such a touching, beautiful rendition of a classic. I've been a fan of this video for ages. Can't get enough. Thanks for sharing of yourself!

  • you are absolutely amazing. i could listen to you all day, everyday.

  • I am a classically trained singer.... I do not compliment people for the hell of it. You made me cry. Beautiful.

  • Guys...I'm not sure how to respond to all your kind words.

    All I have is true, no-nonsense, gratitude.

  • that was INTENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • This is really awesome! I love this song, and you have done a really great rendition of it! Awesome!

  • gee, thanks so much. awesome rendition, and with your heart on your sleeve, yikes.

  • wow! great performance of a great song!

    you really get into it, it's very emotional.

    this clip made me really happy. ^_^

  • you make music as beautiful as it should be, good cover!

  • this was reallllly touching.. i absolutely LOVE ani difranco ... and i almost cried watching you.. i thought it was kinda ridiculous at first how you strummed your guitar so hard.. but then i could tell you meant it... kudos to you

  • Awesome!!!

  • amaaaaaaaaaazing..this is coming from a huge ani fan..i saw her a few months ago in minneapolis about 7 rows back from the stage..it was like my 3rd ani show. you are great at playing guitar and your voice is hella nice man..keep up the good work.

  • a lotttttt opf heart

  • im honeslty speechless...SOO awesome!!!

  • You are breathtaking...

  • Wow!! This is amazing! Just as beautiful as Ani's!!

  • It's Bruce Springsteen's lost son.

  • beautiful!

  • excellent

  • You played this really well. You play everything that way. I just don't like the way the whole dynamic of the song changes when it's sung by a man. Responses like LaurenHoeben's are why.

  • Thanks. People have said that before, but I don't agree.

    I still think...well..lets say that the mood I was in when I sung it was faithful to the original.

    I still wanna play the part of "her" friend, not "her" lover.

    :)

  • Context is everything. I'm sure this song, be it sung by Ani herself, or an excellent cover, means something different to everyone who hears it.

  • @Halfadrop Men and women can be friends, some of us aren't so blind to the social construct of gender dichotomy to allow the song's meaning to be totally fucked up by the fact you're a dude. It's perfect as-is, no worries; well done. :)

  • wow. just. wow.

  • Oh my god! This is sincerely one of my favorite songs of all time and you rocked it! I would just sit and listen to this little known song over and over and cry wishing I could sing it and do it justice. Thanks for doing it for me. Rock on!

  • that was absolutely beautiful....thank you for sharing!

  • WHY YOU'RE NOT FAMOUS YET???

  • When I first clicked the video I thought no way could a man cover this song and do it effectively... you proved me so wrong, wonderful job!!!

  • Thank you all...I did...I do try to put myself out there.

    That's why I don't perform much, actually.

  • whoever this is to doesnt know what shes missing out on.

  • i loved how you put your whole heart into the song. You were full of passion. It was lovely.

  • wow. im crying. no joke. i can feel your pain in this song as you sing.

  • you have a wonderful voice, definitly pursue it!! God bless.

  • you really have an amazing talent I really think that you have the whole package. The look defently the VOICE!

    Briliant. Just be leary of the mass of public glam and money... (trash) however from the songs you sing it sounds as though you are just doing what you love and its not about all the other stuff. Thanks for putting your self out there for evry one to see. Its nice to see real talent not modified my computer altercations. Bravo

  • Every Ani Cover you do blows me away..and you pick the best songs! Cheers Mate!

  • Wow....Nice job! I don't usually like it when people touch Ani's tunes...but you "get it!"

  • Absoloutly gorgeous cover, gave me shivers, saved to my favourites!

  • Halfadrop, been reading your comments...what a beautiful way to look at life. Yes, you are full of light, emotion...i know this was a detication of sorts, but if you put that much in to all your music, no doubt you'll be a force to be reckoned with! i love the fact that you love this song, what a heart you must have...

  • I am twitching with the urge to convey how wonderful your words sound to me. I'm not sure I deserve them, but I'm not giving them back...

  • i love this song so much, i think we've all felt this way at some time or another, great cover you have a beautiful voice.

  • Great performance! Beautiful guitar playing and singing. 5 stars! ~Scribble

  • this brought tears to my eyes. i love what you do. and the fact that you bring so much of your own emotion to anis songs makes me so happy.

  • I...thank you.

  • wow. woweee wowie wow wow. i've watched all your vids (subscribed) and they're never a let down. do you really look like a young bruce or is it just me? or maybe the black and white.... i have a request...."half-assed" or "millennium theater" by Ani. or anything really...but those two are sure nice. how are your tendons?

  • Love the songs. I'll play around with them.

    My tendons are more or less behaving now. Every so often they ache, so I stop playing and go do something useful for a change.

  • listen, your guitar playing is very useful - for those of us who are *ahem* less talented with music, we very much enjoy hearing really good covers of our fave songs... I would love to hear any of your versions of Dillon because, oh how I love his music and, oh how i can't stand his voice. He always sounds like he's getting a rectal exam from a proctologist with really big hands. Brian Ferry just did a little tribute to Dillon - I'm still trying to figure out if I like it or not.

  • i have chills. and might cry. you're really wonderful.

  • Thank you, Amybrookeloves. Still, I can't shake off the feeling that it's the song itself which is amazing. I'm just trying not to brake it. But thanks.

  • You are so full of emotion, really into the songs when you are singing - I love it! Thanks to Chelce from Molten Java Coffee Shop in Bethel, CT for doing a cover of YOUR cover of The way You Make Me Feel and telling us all to check you out!

  • Ok - the internets are scary. Someone is doing a cover of my cover!?!

    That's. So. Cool.

  • Great song here, and I said before, you do covers better then the original artist, so yea!, they will choose yours over the original to reproduce for sure, that happens with alot of songs, think of the Dylans "All along the watch tower", that hendrix did, now all play it like hendrix, happens alot, you got the gift bro... Peace, Doug
